That's surprising but very useful to have her ruled out so quickly.

Her NamUs profile was modified today but I can't see any changes. Was April Reid or anyone else added as an exclusion?

April Reid is the only exclusion on NamUs so far.

Honestly I refuse to believe this woman is NOT April Reid. There must be some mistake. I would like to see a DNA comparison made.

A Facebook group has proposed Amber Rae Johnston which looks like a good possibility!

They said the same thing about Nathaniel Bowman too. He was listed as rule out

This woman Jordan Elaine Smith looks similar and disappeared in the same area around Charlotte NC.
Only thing is that the unidentified lady to me looks older.

Myra Gertrude Ramey also a possibility

In many cases I see other members saying "could it be person X?" and I think to myself, no, it looks nothing like them.

But in this case, the deceased in the video looks SO MUCH like April Reid that I'm struggling to believe it isn't her. I hope LE didn't somehow mistakenly rule her out.

Doing a little research online about the height of deer feeders with a roof, the standard is about 72 inches. It's very hard to tell what the height is of the feeder in the still photos but I've always thought the UID was a bit tall? She doesn't appear to be standing next to the feeder and the cam might be positioned higher up in the tree, so it's hard to tell, I'm just curious if her height could be estimated?

That poor woman seems so dissolute. I wonder, what are the chances, that she is still alive?

No chance, unfortunately, as skeletal remains were found near the trail cam with a bra and leggings on.

 

[Otterly]

This is my first time hearing about this case, and my first impression is that those trailcam photos are truly haunting.

The odd thing is that despite looking like she had been hiking around for a while, with the three hour gap in the photo time stamps and muddy/dirty lower legs, she doesn't look like she had been living homeless or camping, having neat and clean looking hair.

Edit: I also failed to mention the oddity of her only wearing a bra and leggings.

I located a FB group for Jordan Elaine Smith with photos that show her arm tatttoos, so I don’t think she is a match due to that.

I think they are onto something there - this seems like a good match to me!

Fair enough.
Was a bit of a stretch to start with anyway.

 

[Bit of hope]

Could she be Casi Ann Pogue 4501DFSC - Casi Ann Pogue Casi also has tattoos but the pictures are very grainy.

SLEUTHS! The Amber Rae Johnston FB page is gone! Maybe this was her!

and I think her NaMus page is down too?

I still see her Namus Missing Person / NamUs #MP89959
Let’s hope she was found

Both April and the UID's NAMUS profiles are still up, and April has been ruled out.

This case haunts me. I first saw her photos on a late night when I was exhausted, and they creeped me out. But as time has passed, I've grown to feel for her. You can see how badly her feet hurt in the photos, she's walking gingerly and leaning on the stick. I'm terribly curious how she got into such a rural area alone and barefoot and why she didn't ask for help.

There are many cases on this site where someone takes off into a remote area, and their bones are found months or years later, or never found at all. Because of the trail camera, this may be the rare case where we get photos between the disappearance and when the decedent is found.

Ik this sounds dumb but did She went in a loop? like she walked went back left and last time she was saw Which confused me was that fact she had no shoes on no shirt And judging from the last to first photo Even tho i can Barely see her She looked the same when she went back around at 4:30AM Which was my fisrt was her stomach Not sure why but i have a type of gut feeling there was something going on with her stomach Not also sure if this is useful infomoratino ngl the wind could've have done it but the sticks moved slightly i compared the pictures all together between 1:30 - 4:30 The two big sticks on the side moved but the small middle one didn't move really Also it seems like her hair was in a type of way Like if she had short hair i would understand but it seems like either her hair was in a bun or in a ponytail of some sort As it looks She prob is 20-30 I'll say

Here’s a recent article about this young woman. It discusses some of the online speculation about her and the possibility that she is Amber Rae Johnston.
